It's the most basic and essential gadget to have at home. And these are not that so expensive. It helps you track your weight.

2. Thermometer
Another important device to have at home is thermometer. Elevated body temperature or fever is a sign that something out of the ordinary is going on in your body. This is more important in the backdrop of COVID-19. For children a slightly elevated temperature may indicate a serious infection. A good thermometer will read your temperature accurately. These days all kinds of digital thermometers are available online and offline. I have one from Amazon Thermometer


3. Blood pressure monitor
A blood pressure (BP) monitor is the most convenient gadget to have at home, especially if there are people at home with a chronic problem like hypertension. Keep a record of the BP measurements and share it with your family doctor. It helps him to prescribe the right medication. I am using one from Amazon which is good for home use, -BP Monitor

4. Nebulizer
A nebulizer is an inhalation medical device that's important to have if you have a child or a person with asthma or another respiratory condition. The device helps administer medication directly and quickly to the lungs. Having this device at home helps you to cut the number of visits to clinics. 

5. Pulse oximeter
A pulse oximeter is a small, lightweight clip like electronic device used to measure the pulse rate and monitor the amount of oxygen carried in the body. There is great demand for pulse oximeters due to COVID-19. Silent hypoxia where the oxygen levels of the people fall to dangerous levels, even without them looking or feeling uncomfortable, has been a major symptom in COVID-19 patients. If people are detected early, they could be kept off from ventilators. This is seriuosly the one , everyone should get at home. I am using this one and is really good one! Oximeter
